Aluminum Transmission: Side Break Switches

4

Like the SilverTip™ shark’s double row of teeth, Turner’s SilverTip TSB switch jaw contacts increase their holding power under resistance.

Reverse-loop, silver-plated copper jaw contacts employ the natural repulsion of magnetic fields moving in opposite directions to exert holding forces against the blade edges.

In fault conditions, the increased current flow increases the pressure, retaining the blade in the jaws.

Reduces Construction Costs: Easily upgraded in the field.

Reduces Maintenance Costs: Maintenance-free bearing assembly.

Lowers inventory: Shorter lead times than traditional transmission switches.

The aluminum tubular blade design provides the proper combination of current-carrying capacity and rigidity. Silver- plated copper blade tips are easily field-replaceable, as are stationary and moving arcing horns.

The gentle ways of the Silvertip shark earned it the name of “gentleman shark”. SilverTip TSB switches gently close into position, with the blade tip engaging the jaws at a 30 degree angle, then rotating to engage the jaw contacts. They are not “slammed” under force into the contacts.

Both the blade and jaw contacts are wiped clean during the closing action to ensure a low resistance current transfer. A heavy-duty static blade-locking device keeps the blade closed despite temporary faults or surge currents.

That static lock is released during the switch opening sequence, as the blade rotates 30 degrees in the jaw. This action, exclusive to Turner’s SilverTip TSB switches, breaks up contamination and ice up to 3/4", and releases the contact friction, allowing the blade to easily be removed from the contacts.

Aluminum switch… jaws of steel.

Turner Electric is the industry choice for transmission switchesFor 60 years, we have provided the highest quality products and developed the concept for “Substation in the Sky.” We offer phase over phase construction versus phase next to phase, allowing the switch apparatus to be installed on the utility high voltage transmission line right of way. No additional land is required.

Traditionally, these switches have been offered only in copper. We still offer these proven “D” style switches, but we also listened to you and designed a completely new line employing aluminum. The new “TSB” Line is rich with benefits and features.

The SilverTip switch from Turner uses reverse-loop contacts and patented rotating blade technology to securely close into and hold the blade in the switch jaws.



5

Hinge MechanismThe hinge end of the switch is enclosed to permanently protect it from the elements and offers a continuous current carrying path. There are only two current transfer points in the hinge. The terminal pad is threaded to a stationary contact block creating a spring loaded, silver to silver connection.

As the switch rotates during the opening and closing cycle, the terminal pad is held in place by the conductor allowing the switch to move without restriction. Inside the hinge housing, Turner’s patent pending True Turn Technology prevents the blade from rotating prematurely during the open or close operation.

Upgrade-AbilitySwitch current rating upgrades are easily and economically accomplished in minutes by even in-experienced line crews. Ratings can be increased from 600 amps to 1200 to 2000 amps simply by changing the blade tube and adding bolt-on contact fingers to the jaw.

Main Bearing Assembly And Stationary Insulator MountingThe main pivot bearing assembly consists of two tapered roller bearings, which are adjusted and factory lubricated. They require no further attention for the life of the switch. These bearings are protected with a permanent neoprene seal with a Welch type expansion plug.

Leveling ScrewsLeveling screws are provided on the movable and stationary insulator mounting flange to facilitate easy alignment of the insulator stacks. Adjusting the movable mount leveling screws raises or lowers the end of the switch blade allowing simple, correct blade to jaw contact interface.

Mounting FlexibilityTurner offers the TSB switch for a variety of transmission and substation mounting applications.

Please see the following pages, which outline the available one, two, and three way configurations. All frames are designed and constructed for termination of the transmission line at 10,000 pounds working load. Line angles at full tension are limited to +/- 5 Degrees of 90 or 180 Degree dead end. If there is an application outside of these parameters, please contact the factory.

Generally, 2 and 3 way switches at 115kV and above must be mounted on steel, concrete, or laminated wood poles.

Blade Position IndicatorUtilities need to know when a switch is closed correctly. As an optional feature, Turner developed a new, patent pending, open/close position indicator. The indicator is fully integrated in the patent pending True Turn technology and provides positive visual confirmation that the blade contacts are securely seated in the jaw contacts.

Copper Transmission: Side Break Switches

16

Transmission “D” Switches

Turner “D” switches are one of the most versatile, severe-duty, switching products available. The flexible mounting ability makes it ideal in phase-over-phase, delta and phase-next-to-phase configurations on poles, platforms, and substation structures. Transmission, substation, and platform mounted switches are extremely difficult and costly to remove and service, so Turner’s philosophy is to design in reliability.

Its simplistic, easily-mounted construction and flexible configurations makes it truly a switch for all reasons. A rigid, hard drawn copper blade with patented locking devise, silver-to-copper contacts, double spring arcing horns and sealed hinge contacts provides heavy-duty construction. Add to this Turner’s 60 years of field proven experience in air break switches and you have maximum switching reliability. Two insulator stack construction instead of the traditional three reduces the cost of material, assembly and installation. This all adds up to what we call Switch-ability!

Turner Type “D” switches can be used for station isolating and bypassing, distribution and transmission line sectionalizing or isolating arrestors, metering equipment and other apparatus. Right hand or left hand opening can be specified at time of order. They are easily upgraded for automatic operation and load breaking. Several factory designs and fabricated steel and aluminum switch mounting platforms are available for various line designs, custom designs are also available.

Type “D” Operating FeaturesType “D” switches are operated from ground level with a standard 2" IPS steel vertical operating pipe assembly with a manual swing handle. The manual swing handle incorporates a ground shunt, is padlockable and can be supplied for clockwise or counterclockwise operation. A steel shaft with self piercing set screw clevises is used for coupling and pinning the switch. Electric motor operators are available for remote, automatic or SCADA control. Turning the operating lever rotates the main vertical operating shaft which moves the insulator stack with the main contact blade. The turning motion rotates the contact blade to facilitate a smooth, effortless positive opening motion. This action releases contact pressure within the spring jaw assembly which helps maintain a clean contact surface, and enhances ice or contamination breaking action.

During closing, the main blade contacts remain in the straight or “cammed up” position, allowing effective contact cleaning. A patented locking devise holds the blade securely in the jaw.

Double spring quick-whips interrupt limited amounts of charging or load currents when opening. Arcing is kept away from main contact surfaces. If the magnitude of the current exceeds the quick-whip capability, a TECO-Rupter full load break vacuum interrupter is available.

Hinge MechanismThe current carrying path on the hinge end of the switch is continuous and enclosed to permanently protect if from the elements. The terminal pad is threaded to a stationary contact block; the connection is spring loaded, silver to silver. As the switch rotates during the opening and closing cycle, the terminal pad is held in place by the conductor and the switch can move without restriction. Inside the hinge housing, current transfer from the stationary block to the moveable blade is through a series of silver contact rivets. Beryllium Copper backing springs apply continuous pressure around the contact shoes. This hinge configuration assures maximum service life and minimum maintenance.



17

Jaw Contacts and BladeThe high constant pressure contact shoes are of cast, heat-treated, high conductivity Beryllium Copper. Although contact pressure is factory adjusted, should field adjustment ever be necessary, it can easily be made. In addition, contact replacement is fast and easy.

The tubular blade is designed of hard-drawn copper to provide the proper combination of current-carrying capacity and rigidity. The blade tip is Beryllium Copper, heat-treated and strato-milled to provide a machined current transfer surface. The coin silver overlays provide high pressure, silver to copper contact with the Beryllium Copper jaw surfaces when the tip is in the jaw.

The blade tip engages the jaw contacts in an upright condition to form a high-pressure contact. The blade and jaw contacts are wiped clean during the closing action to assure a low resistance current transfer. A patented blade locking device keeps the blade closed despite temporary faults, surges, twisting structures or galloping conductors. Double spring type quick whips provide interruption of limited amounts of charging and load currents.

The opening action of the Turner D Style Transmission switch is unique. Prior to the blade disengaging from the jaw contact, the blade contact rotates 22 degrees in the jaw. This exclusive Turner Action releases all contact friction and breaks any ice or contamination in the jaw area which may impede an easy opening cycle. The Turner switch provides effortless switch opening regardless of environmental or time effects.

Main Bearing AssemblyThe main pivot bearing assembly consists of two tapered roller bearings, which are adjusted and lubricated at the factory and require no further attention for the life of the switch. These bearings are protected with a Neoprene seal and permanently sealed at the bottom with a Welch-type expansion plug.

Four leveling screws are provided on the sub-base of each insulator stack to facilitate easy alignment after assembling the insulators on the switch. Adjusting the screws raises or lowers the end of the switch blade and orients the blade to contact interface correctly.

Tightening the insulator bolts holds the alignment fast. Leveling screws are also provided on all stationary insulator pedestals.

Mounting FlexibilityTo accommodate the variety of transmission structures and locations, Turner offers a variety of operating and mounting configurations. Controls can be supplied for clockwise or counter-clockwise opening if requested, or may be changed in the field as required.

Turner’s standard operating mechanism for side break switches consists of vertical steel operating pipe, with or without an 8 foot fiberglass insulating section, and a steel or fiberglass interphase shaft, with self-piercing set screw clevises for coupling and pinning the switch crank arm and vertical pipe guides.

TECO-Rupter: Vacuum Interrupters

28

Vacuum Interrupters save maintenance,save downstream equipment and the environment.

No Maintenance RequiredVacuum bottles are 100% tested in the factory, not once, but three times, before shipment to the customer. According to the manufacturer’s records, “once a VI is in the field for 3 to 5 years, it will be vacuum-tight for life. During those early years, there is less than 1 chance in 1,000,000 of a vacuum leak occurring.” 1

There is no scheduled maintenance required with a TECO-Rupter. Once installed, it will remain ready for duty until called upon to interrupt load current, magnetizing current, transformer current, Loop or Parallel circuits or Split ties in either a substation or transmission application.

Unlike alternate-dielectric interrupters, TECO-Rupters do not have to be checked annually to confirm proper gas pressure or the presence of oil.

Vacuum Saves Downstream EquipmentThe incredibly high dielectric strength of vacuum interruption allows for contact-clearances in millimeters with resultant, rapid arc-clearing times.

Typically measured as a half- to three-quarter cycle before current-zero is achieved at interruption, downstream equipment is spared exposure to excessive current loads.

In addition, the short-stroke and lightweight design means less shock-load on the switch and insulators.

When performed properly, current interruption has minimal impact on the entire system, not just downstream. Vacuum’s inherent dielectric strength prevents strike-overs from transient voltage spikes and other stray currents that could cause equipment damage.

Vacuum Bottles Do Not Vent to the AtmosphereUnlike interruption dielectrics that vent greenhouse gases to the environment, vacuum bottles vent nothing. Current interruption and arc-extinction occur in the void of the vacuum, leaving no ash, residue or by-product.

Continued focus on maintaining a clean environment for current and future generations is clearly a desirable attribute for anyone charged with designing apparatus. There are choices in interrupting dielectric today. We believe in making the clean choice – vacuum.

TECO-Rupter Vacuum Circuit Interrupter

For more than 35 years, Turner Electric’s TECO-Rupter Vacuum Interrupters have been the technology of choice for loop and load-break applications because of their current-interrupting ability, superior reliability and ease of application. The TECO-Rupter offers industry leading performance levels including

superior TRV ratings compared to other load-break technologies such as SF6, longer service life and greater interrupting capacity. No other load-break device provides 5,000 full load operations at either 2,000 or 3,000 ampere ratings and a TRV rating up to 57kV.

The pick-up finger engages the actuator rod creating a parallel current path. At a pre-determined point, the vacuum contacts separate, interrupting the circuit.

TECO-Rupters offer the following advantages over other technologies:

Long Life and Maintenance-Free Operation Controlled contact erosion results in long electrical life. Contacts are enclosed within the vacuum interrupter. More than a million vacuum contacts remain in use.

Durable Housing New long life fiberglass housing is lightweight yet strong. It is treated with UV inhibiting paint preventing “blooming.”

Excellent Sticking Resistance Hard contact material minimizes contact sticking in vacuum and is ideal for high current applications.

No Atmospheric Contact Contamination No oxides and corrosion layers can form on the contacts.

No Noise, No Flash Arcing is confined inside the vacuum interrupter.

No Environmental Effects Current interruption occurs in a vacuum; no greenhouse or toxic gases are emitted as in the application of SF6 based interruption technology.

Very Low Current Chop The low average cutoff current results in a minimal induced transient voltage spike so that surge suppressors are not required.

Excellent Design Simple design = lower maintenance time and cost versus SF6 puffer technology.

Contacts Rated at 250,000 mechanical operations, mean time between failures, and at 5,000 full load/voltage operations.

TECO-Rupter Applications

The Turner TECO-Rupter vacuum circuit interrupter is offered as an attachment to the Turner switch, as well as designs of other switch manufacturers. The interrupter can be attached to vertical break, side break, hooksticks, and center break switch designs. Different models of the TECO-Rupter can interrupt various types of circuits.

Loop Splitting or Parallel BreakNormally, these are single vacuum contact devices that can interrupt up to 3000 amps and 230kV, under parallel conditions. In this case, rated voltage will still exist on both sides of the switch after the open operation. The transient recovery voltage must not exceed 30kV RMS for the single contact Type RLS or 57kV RMS for the Type RLM. More contacts can be added to address higher recovery voltages. Please consult the factory. Type RLS and RLB TECORupters can interrupt up to 2000 amps up to 230kV and Type RLM TECO-Rupters can interrupt up to 3000 amps up to 230kV.

Line ChargingA full voltage multiple stack interrupter may be utilized from 15kV through 230kV for interruption of line or bus charging currents and transformer magnetizing currents up to a value of 70 amps at 0% power factor, capacitive or inductive. The nameplate operating current of the switch is not a factor in the application of this device. Type RLS and RLM TECO-Rupters can interrupt up to 70 amps of line charging current up to 34kV while the Type RLB can interrupt 70 amps up to 230kV.

Load InterruptionA full voltage multiple stack interrupter may be applied from 15kV through 230kV for interruption of actual load current at 70% power factor. Type RLS TECO-Rupters can interrupt 2000 amps up to 34kV, Type RLM can interrupt 3000 amps up to 34kV and Type RLB can interrupt 2000 amps up to 230kV. The TECO-Rupter is only in the circuit momentarily during the opening sequence. Contact test studs are located on the exterior of the housing and allow for an independent Hi-Pot test of each vacuum contact with the actuating arm.

Testing and Quality AssuranceEvery TECO-Rupter undergoes complete testing before leaving the factory. The test includes a dielectric test, resistance check and three separate vacuum assurance tests. Strict documentation is kept to enable backtracking of contact materials.

Ordering InformationThere are currently more than 1,000 pre-engineered designs to retrofit TECO-Rupter to other manufacturers’ switches. To see if we have one designed for your application, please contact your local representative or the factory and provide the following information:

• Switch manufacturer• Catalog number• kV and current ratings

If we don’t have one, we can design one for you. The design and set up is free. Our engineering staff and design team will develop a pre-engineered kit that will reduce field modification, human error and installation time.
